Tea and Mandalas, of course

*I remember asking for seconds of a delicious homegrown herbal tea at an herb farm my Mom and Dad and I visited so many years ago. I remember it being the best tea!!

*Honey and lemon tea makes me feel better when I'm sick with a cold.

*I loved Wu Wie tea from isabella catalog but they discontinued it so now I buy Immortalitea from there. It is made from the jiaogulan leaf which is said to be what some of the civilizations that live to be over 100 drink and have in common. I need to order more.

*I love all the tea packages with pretty boxes and quotes . I can stand in the tea aisle forever. Makes me wish I designed packaging.

***Tea is good but wine is better.

*I have a special teacup,just for reading tea leaves but I forget to use it.

I'm linking to paint party friday, and IA whose theme is inspired by words, as this was inspired by the quote on the side of the Bigelow box: "Bigelow tea.... good for the mind body and soul" maybe not what they had in mind when deciding the theme but it worked for me!
and to Justaddwater as their theme is coffee or tea.
And to haiku my heart for all their wonderful haiku!

This s the sweetest post! Love your teacup art...very pretty! I just got into tea the last few years. I am such a coffee girl, but in the evening we have tea and I have broadened my horizons by trying new teas! I am absolutely addicted to starbucks chai tea...naughty me!!So many to explore...and the quotes are wonderful!!Thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend!!Hugs Giggles

such a beautiful mandala, I love the colors and sweet, pretty way you made this. It's beautiful and I KNOW that CIndy at Inspiration ave. would LOVE it too, her fave color is pink, this is stunning andrea, I'm so glad I'm having trouble with the linky and I went directly to the source or I wouldn't have seen your submission!Best,Jenn

A tea mandala! How unique and very, very unusual. I enjoyed all the tidbits you shared about your tea experiences, too. I came from both IA and Artist's Play Room, so I'm killing two posts with one comment (grin).

Wow...what a gorgeous tea drawing! I so love your eye for detail in your drawings and your wonderful use of colours that highten the beauty of your work. I'm very excited to have found you and I'll for sure be back to your wonderful blog again!
